Raced cammed 01 WS6
I dont know how I can outrun some of the cars I do. I raced an 01 WS6 with a cam and exhaust going down the freeway, we both dropped to 3rd and took off. I pulled on him pretty good. As far as I know my 02 SS has LT headers, borla catback with offroad y pipe and thats it. Anyone know how I track down the previous owner? I would love to know what all he did to it. I dont think it has been apart at all. I would hate to do a cam if it already has one. I dont think it has been tuned either because I would think he would have deleted the rear o2's (there are simulators and they blink so I assume they are functioning) Any help on how to tell if I have a custom tune, or after market cam, or how to track down a previous owner would be great. The only thing I know is it was a California car. Thanks...

This is YOUR car that YOU bought and you are asking us whats done to it and how to track down the previous owner? I give you my respect for being in the army in times like these, but you seem to have the intelligence of a box of rocks. As far as the heaping of WS6 comment, I wish you were local b/c my WS6 would love to smoke your ignorant ***

Well if you didn't research the car before buying it and if you in fact can't hear an obvious lope compared to other stock LS1's, than the only way to know for sure is to tear into the engine or get a dyno tune, but the tune alone may not reveal it definitely. First thing I would do though is get a dynotune and see where you are at. If you are in the 330-350rwhp range most likely you do not have a cam. 350-360 range will be tough to say b/c there are some factory freaks out there. Anything over 360 but less than 380, you most likely have a smallish cam. Anything above 380rwhp and you have a 224 or bigger cam. As far as tracking down the previous owner, how could we possibly help you with that without knowing anything other than its a california car?? Who did you buy it from & why do you not know who the previous owner is?

Did you see the car parked on the street and leave money and a note in the wipers saying please leave notarized title in glovebox and keys behind left rear wheel, I wanna buy your car? How do you not know who the previous owner was? I'm sure there's a reasonable explaination that I'm just not seeing?

Dude, you ask some really stupid questions. You didn't once think he bought this car from a dealership? Some people just have no common sense.
